MANUFACTURE OF CLOTH TAGS.

Application filed August 14, 1920. Serial No. 403,582.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that HmoJr KAMIJo, a subject of the Emperor of Japan, residing at No. 1 Gokencho, Kandalru, Tokyo, Japan,

has invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Manufacture of (110th Tags, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to the manufacture of cloth tags. .According to my invention.

one part of a cloth is perfectly woven forming the body of the tag, While from the other part is omitted either the warp or weft thread, this part therefore being left 1m; woven. This unwoven part is continuous with the woven part and is collected together to form binding strings. The object of the invention is to conveniently produce a cloth tag, of which the binding strings are strong ly combined with the body of the tag.

The invention will be more particularly described withreference to the acccmpanying drawings, in which by way of example Fig. 1 shows the fabric used for the manufacture of cloth tags according toone form of my invention; Figs. 2 and 3 show a tag cut from the fabric shown in Fig. 1 in halffinished and finished condition respectively. Fig. 4 shows the fabric used for the manufacture of cloth tags according to another form of the invention. Figs. 5, 6 and 7 show a tag cut from the fabric shown in Fig. 4: in unfinished, half finished and finished condition respectively.

woven parts A consist of warp and weft threads, whereas the unwoven parts B consist of the weft thread only as shown, the parts A and B are alternately arranged. Th fabric is cut along the dash and dot lines so as to produce single tags of the size'shown in Fig. 2, each such tag comprising a woven part a and an unwoven part b. Thewoven part, a forms the body of the tag, while the loose threads of the unwoven part b are collected together into strings 0, thus producing the finished tag shown in Fig. 3.

In the fabric according to Fig. 4: the woven parts A consist of weft and warp threads, whereas'the unwoven parts B consist only of warp'threads, the parts A and In the texture, according to Fig. l. the

B being alternately arranged like the parts A. and B in Fig. 1. When the fabric is out along the dash and dot lines, single ta gs like the one shown in Fig. 5 are obtained, each comprising a woven part a and an unwoven part 7). A portion of the loose warp threads 6 are removed, anc. the adjacent corners of the body art a. are bevelled, as shown in Fig. 6. 'Fhen, the remaining loose warp threads are collected together to form strings 0, thus completing the tag as shown in Fig. 7.

Obviously, a tag manufactured according to this invention in which the body part a and the strings form an integral part not only has the advantage of being stronger than a paper tag and more pliant than a wooden tag, buttlie further special advantage is that the body part never can come off, and that it requires no strings to be especially attached thereto.

I claim as my invention:

1. The method of making cloth tags which consists in producing a fabric comprising alternating woven and unwoven parts, and then cutting the fabric into tag-size portions, each such portion comprising also a woven and an unwoven part.

2. The method as set forth in claim 1, in which the loose threads of the unwoven part are twisted together to form strings for attaching the tag.

I 3. The method of making cloth tags which. consists in producing a fabric of warp and weft threads and comprising alternatingwoven and unwoven parts, the unwoven parts consisting of warp threads only, and then cutting the fabric int-o tag-size portions, each such portion comprising likewise a woven and an unwoven part.

4. In the method as specified in claim the further step of twisting together the loose warp threads into strings for attaching the tag.

5. In the method as specified in claim 3, the further steps of cutting out some of the outer loose warp threads, bevelling the adj cent edges of the woven tag portion, and finally twisting the remaining loose warp threads into strings for attaching purposes.

6. As an article of manufacture, a cloth.

tag made of fabrics having a Woven body In testimony whereof I aflix my signature part forming the tag proper and an unin the presence of two witnesses. Woven art consistin of loose threads. a

7 A cloth tag as s pecified in claim 5, in HIROJI m Which the unwoven part consists of the loose Witnesses: Warp threads of the fabric, Which aretwisted YHARUHITYO LIDAR, together into strings. MYRoN A. HOFER.
